GHI to Hold Town Meeting 

On Major Home Upgrades 

Greenbelt Homes, Inc. (GHI) 

is hosting a town hall meeting 

at 2 p.m. on Sunday, January 23 

in the Community Center gym. 

The agenda is entirely devoted to 

a planned major upgrade for all 

1,600 GHI homes in 2015 and 

a pilot project already underway 

to prepare for that upgrade. All 

GHI members are encouraged to 

attend. 

The 2015 upgrade will replace 

heating systems, windows 

and doors for all residences 

within the cooperative. In 

preparation, a multi-year pilot 

program has already begun in 

which 28 volunteer homes will 

be upgraded and scientifically 

measured to identify those improvements 

providing the greatest 

comfort and cost-effective 

reduction of utility bills. 

Unlike typical home improvement 

projects, the pilot program 

will also identify unforeseen 

problems and costs. In 2015, the 

membership will begin the full

Cut Paper, Aesop Tales Are 

Artful Afternoon Features 

The next Artful 

Afternoon, to be 

held on Sunday, 

February 6 from 

1 to 4 p.m., will 

feature free handson 

cut-paper art 

projects, classic 

stories and sculpture 

at the Greenbelt 

Community 

Center. 

From 1 to 3 

p.m. there will 

be a paper doll 

and outfit-making 

workshop with 

Artist-in-residence 

Sherill Anne 

Gross. Gross is a 

cut-paper illustrator 

whose artwork 

can be seen in her 

Community Center studio. She 

will have an exhibit at Artspace 

in Herndon, Va., from January 31 

to February 27. 

Gallery Exhibit 

“Where You Are: Sculpture 

and Assemblage by Lat Naylor” 

is on display in the Community 

Center Art Gallery. Naylor is a 

Baltimore native, educated and 

experienced in urban planning 

and fashion design. 

For nearly 10 years he owned, 

operated and designed Lat Naylor 

Think Tank, a clothing company 

based in San Francisco. His 

fashion work has been featured 

in Italian Vogue, The New York 

Times, The Los Angeles Times, 

Women’s Wear Daily and other 

publications. In 1998 Naylor 

closed his company to focus on 

upgrade with cost estimates and 

lessons learned from the initial 

effort. GHI has set aside approximately 

$10 million for the 

upgrade but will not know the 

full cost until the pilot program 

is complete in 2014. 

Members attending Sunday’s 

town hall meeting should bring 

their questions, concerns and 

ideas about the upgrade and pilot 

program. During the opening 20 

minutes volunteers will collect 

these issues on note cards and 

identify the top 10. Brief presentations 

will be made by members 

of GHI’s buildings committee 

and by Joe Wiehagen from the 

National Association of Home 

Builders Research Center. 

Speakers will then address the 

top 10 issues suggested by members 

and, finally, the floor will be 

opened for individual questions. 

Each member attending will be 

eligible for one of four door 

prizes – $50 vouchers to be applied 

to an upcoming Pepco bill.

famous “The Boy Who Cried 

Wolf” to the lesser-known but 

hilarious “The Bee Family.” The

Song of Mulan” presented by 

Theatre IV, two tickets to see 

Anton Chekhov’s “The Seagull” 

at the Clarice Smith Performing 

Arts Center and two tickets to

Beltway Plaza Site Plan Is Barely 

Approved by County Planning Board 

After two continuances, the 

controversial Conceptual Site 

Plan (CSP) and associated Rezoning 

Request submitted by GB 

Mall Limited Partnership (Beltway 

Plaza Management) were 

heard by the Prince George’s 

County Planning Board at its 

meeting on January 13 at the 

County Administration Building 

in Upper Marlboro. Although the 

Planning Board’s agenda began 

at 10 a.m. that Thursday morning, 

the Greenbelt item was not 

brought up until after 6:30 that 

evening. 

Up for consideration was the 

request to rezone 15.4 acres at 

the rear of Beltway Plaza from 

the C-S-C zone (Commercial 

Shopping Center) to the M-U-I 

(Mixed Use Infill) zone. Proposed 

is a mixed-use-development 

of 700 multifamily dwelling 

units (midrise) and 22,000 square 

feet of commercial/restaurant 

space. Also considered was the 

Conceptual Site Plan. 

At the outset of the hearing 

by Park and Planning, technical 

staff referred to the proposal as 

“Greenbelt Place at Beltway Plaza.” 

At time of submittal it was 

called Greenbelt Town Center 

at Beltway Plaza. (See August 

5, 2010, issue for details on the 

proposed development.) 

Only four Planning Board 

members were present for the 

item, Chairman, Samuel J. Parker; 

Vice Chairman, Sylvester 

Vaughns; Jesse Clark; and Sarah 

A. Cavitt. The fifth member, 

Colonel John H. Squire, was 

absent.

Planning Director Celia Craze 

and Dan Lynch, standing in for 

City Attorney Robert Manzi. 

Technical Staff Report 

Henry Zhang of the Park and 

Planning Technical Staff, responsible 

for the technical staff report, 

briefly summarized the staff recommendation 

that the 15.4 acres 

of the surface parking lot in the 

rear of the shopping center be 

rezoned to the M-U-I zone. If 

approved by the board, its recommendation 

is forwarded to the 

District Council (Prince George’s 

County Council acting on zoning 

matters for final action). 

Zhang noted that the 2001 Approved 

Sector Plan and Sectional 

Map Amendment for the Greenbelt 

Metro Area had rezoned 

Beltway Plaza, including the 

subject site, from the I-1 (Light 

Industrial) zone to the C-S-C 

zone and had superimposed a Development 

District Overlay Zone 

(DDOZ) on the property. The 

site also has an approved stormwater 

management concept plan 

by Donna Hoffmester 

valid through April 30, 2013. 

Important to the staff recommendation 

for approval was the 

2005 rezoning of the Springhill 

Lake apartment complex (now 

Franklin Park at Greenbelt Station) 

from the R-18 (Multi-family 

Medium Density Residential) 

zone to the M-U-I zone. This 

according to Zhang, provided 

“justification” for support of the 

M-U-I zone change for the Beltway 

Plaza site, adjacent to the 

Franklin Park property across 

from Breezewood Drive. 

Zhang also recommended approval 

of the CSP and a Type 

1 Tree Conservation Plan. The 

staff also listed requirements applicable 

at the detailed site plan 

stage that partially addressed 

the City of Greenbelt’s concern 

that the proposed CSP not be 

approved until an overall comprehensive 

plan for redevelopment 

of the entire shopping center has 

been submitted. 

Further Conditions 

Other technical staff conditions 

for approval relate to property 

lines, payment of fees and parking 

and traffic control requirements. 

The city believes these items 

would have to be accomplished

Reel and Meal Attendees 

Help Buy Sports Equipment 

On Saturday, January 8 kids at 

Springhill Lake Recreation Center 

had big smiles on their faces 

when they saw the new sporting 

equipment, board games, television 

and DVD player donated by 

the Reel and Meal at the New 

Deal Café, a Greenbelt civic 

group created to raise awareness 

about vital environmental and 

social justice matters. 

After viewing a documentary 

at the Café on December 

20 called “What Would Jesus 

Buy?” and discussing the topic 

with local ministers Dan Hamlin 

and Fay Lundin, the audience 

contributed nearly $300 to buy 

needed athletic equipment and 

games. Modell’s Sporting Goods 

at Greenway Center discounted 

the purchase of basketballs, 

double-dutch jump ropes, ping 

pong balls, basketball goal nets, a 

sports trivia board game, a large 

table hockey game and a professional 

100-pound heavyweight 

punching bag with gloves for 

boys and girls. 

Mayor Judith Davis made a 

surprise appearance and asked 

organizer Cam MacQueen to 

explain the day’s event. As 

she and Councilmember Konrad 

Herling and other city officials 

looked on, MacQueen, of Green 

Vegan Networking, explained, 

“The donation was part of the 

Reel and Meal’s dream to bring 

all three parts of Greenbelt together: 

East, West and Historic 

Greenbelt into one community 

by building bridges and getting 

to know our neighbors. We plan 

to stay involved with Springhill 

Lake Recreation Center and hope 

to start a Teen Empowerment 

Reel and Meal program in the 

near future.” 

The Reel and Meal conducts 

its monthly planning meetings at 

the Springhill Lake Recreation 

Clubhouse. 

The Reel and Meal at the 

New Deal Café series is made up 

of four affinity groups including 

CHEARS (CHesapeake Education, 

Arts and Research Society), 

Green Vegan Networking, The 

Peace & Justice Coalition of 

Prince George’s County and Beaverdam 

Creek Watershed Watch 

Group. Free films are shown on 

the third Monday of every month

Letters to the Editor 

More on Area Transportation 

As a follow up to the recent 

News Review articles on the 

Baltimore-Washington Parkway 

expansion, I think it is useful to 

look beyond arguments of automobiles 

vs. green space. We 

have to address the root issues 

of access to jobs for Greenbelt 

residents, impacts on local businesses 

and area-wide transportation 

needs. Greenbelt and the 

surrounding communities are, 

as per our zoning regulations, 

low density, low rise suburban 

areas. In areas of this type, automobile 

traffic is the dominant 

feeder of the local economy and 

thus the city and state tax base. 

This automobile traffic needs 

to be managed, not blocked or 

routed to “someone else’s back 

yard.” An important component 

of such management is the 

preservation and enhancement 

of green space. 

I recommend that the Greenbelt 

city government conduct 

surveys to determine the commuting 

and other transportation 

needs of city residents and 

businesses. The results of these 

surveys will then provide a factual 

basis to support the city’s 

response to county, state and 

federal area-wide transportation 

plans. In formulating these responses 

we have to be aware 

that Greenbelt is not a self-sufficient 

island. In addition to local 

issues, the present and projected 

needs of through-traffic must be 

Omission

the News Review history reprint 

from Patch.com we used 

historic Library of Congress 

photos including one of an unknown 

typist for the Cooperator 

(the News Review’s “old” 

name). Sharp eyes and sharper 

memories have identified 

the typist as Peg Winegarden 

or Winegarten of Gardenway.

sister, who was visiting her

typist of yore. 

addressed. 

The current shortfalls in local, 

state and federal tax revenues 

impose strict constraints on any 

near-term solutions that can be 

implemented. These constraints 

are real and may force the acceptance 

of less than the ideal 

transportation infrastructure approaches 

proposed by the council 

in their January 6 letter which 

appeared in the News Review. 

By continuing to press exclusively 

for these, Greenbelt’s actions 

may delay or prevent the state 

and federal government doing 

anything to address this area’s 

expanding transportation needs. 

In summary, let’s work together 

to assure that Greenbelt, 

its residents and businesses prosper 

in the years ahead. This will 

in turn give us a tax base which 

supports our excellent city government 

and helps to maintain 

our green space.

Obituaries 

Margaret Morin 

Margaret “Peggy” Morin died 

on Saturday, January 15, 2011, 

one day after her 70th birthday. 

Peggy Grant was born to Harry 

“Gus” and Margaret Grant on 

January 14, 1941, and raised in 

Greenbelt – first on Southway 

and then in 19 Court of Ridge 

Road. She attended High Point 

High School. 

In 1961 she married Bill Morin. 

They settled in Greenbelt, 

having homes on Plateau Place 

and Westway and in Lakewood. 

Mrs. Morin worked in the 

banking industry first at Twin 

Pines and later for Community 

Savings and Loan as a customer 

service representative. She retired 

from Washington Federal 

Credit Union in January 2009. 

She enjoyed needlepoint and was 

an avid Redskins and Maryland 

basketball fan. She was a member 

of Greenbelt Baptist Church. 

After divorcing, Mrs. Morin 

continued to live in Greenbelt, 

eventually purchasing a home on 

Eastway. In late 2009 she moved 

from her Eastway home to Indiana 

to be closer to her daughter 

Julia. 

She is survived by her children 

Andrew (Eleanor) Morin of 

Pennsylvania, Sharon (Shawn) 

Townsend of Greenbelt and Julia 

(Darrin) Viera of Indiana; her 

brother James Grant of Pennsylvania; 

and grandchildren James 

and Ryan Morin and Kevin, Daniel 

and John Townsend. 

A memorial service will be 

held at a later date. In lieu of 

flowers donations in her memory 

may be made to the American 

Heart Association.

Scholarship Contest 

At Legion Post 136 

by Carol Griffith 

On January 8, for the first time in six years, American 

Legion Post 136 in Greenbelt held the Legion Oratorical 

Contest which awards scholarship money to winning high 

school students. 

Two high school sophomores were recruited for the 

contest from the Legion’s website. The two contestants, 

one male and one female, were from Poolesville and Annapolis. 

Another contestant from Greenbelt was ill and 

unable to participate. 

The contestants were required to present an 8 to 10 

minute prepared oration on some aspect of the U.S. Constitution 

and then speak for up to five minutes on one of 

four topics chosen by a Legion official. This year’s topics 

were four of the Amendments to the Constitution. 

Four judges were recruited from outside the Legion. 

They were Councilmember Leta Mach, Mayor Pro Tem 

Emmett Jordan, Lynne Chandler and this reporter, Carol 

Griffith. Both contestants gave excellent orations and 

were nearly tied in the number of points accrued for their 

two speeches. Post 136 generously awarded both the full 

amount of the scholarship money available at the Post 

level. 

The contest is an annual Legion event but in recent 

years the Legion’s 16 Prince George’s County Posts have 

had difficulty recruiting contestants from county schools.

to educate volunteers on the powerful, 

positive impact that mentors 

can have in a child’s life and 

guide them in their role as advocates 

when making recommendations 

for the children they serve. 

Volunteers spend 10 to 15 hours 

each month getting to know the 

children and the circumstances 

that brought them into care and 

play a critical role in helping 

identify appropriate services and 

additional support for them.

BELTWAY PLAZA continued from page 1 

in any case. 

Staff conditions relating to private 

recreational facilities, bikeways, 

tree canopy and potential 

limits to development based on 

peak-hour trips generated might 

require amendment to the CSP 

based upon adequacy of transportation 

facilities. 

Following the staff report, 

Planning Board Chair Parker expressed 

concern that the proposed 

CSP does not adequately address 

the larger context of linkages to 

the entire shopping center. The 

staff report focuses on the proposed 

development’s relationship 

to Franklin Park but not to the 

existing shopping center or to 

any proposed Metro development. 

Parker felt too much was going 

on that had not been taken into 

consideration and called on Taub 

for the applicant’s presentation. 

He claimed the proposed development 

would be “compatible 

with the existing center” but must 

await the hiring of a developer.” 

Taub then described how the 

concept for the overall redevelopment 

of the shopping center 

had been put together in 2006 

but then “headed south” with the 

downward turn in the economy. 

He noted the plan had envisioned 

1,400 residential units but met 

with city resistance because the 

area could not accommodate that 

many (rental) units. 

As years went by, Beltway 

Plaza officials began to look at 

the “sea of asphalt” at the rear of 

the shopping center. They felt if 

any redevelopment were feasible, 

it would be there. They had by 

then modified the mix of units, 

reducing the number of rental 

units in response to city requests. 

Piecemeal Development 

According to Taub, the parting 

of the ways began when the city 

said there should be no piecemeal 

development but, instead, 

an overall comprehensive plan 

for the mall. In Beltway Plaza’s 

view, the economics were not 

amenable to that. 

Taub then displayed views of 

the existing property, including 

a “Black Friday” photo of an 

entirely empty rear parking lot 

on the day considered the heaviest 

shopping day of the year. He 

then focused on the development 

proposal envisioned by the CSP, 

its orientation to Franklin Park 

and its pedestrian, bicycle and 

transit linkages to the new development. 

He assured listeners that 

the development would engender 

a “sense of community” or a 

“sense of place.” 

Again Taub was greeted with 

skepticism from Parker. He felt 

the CSP did not show how the 

proposed development would relate 

to the entire shopping center. 

“A better place doesn’t work for 

me,” he said. Parker noted he 

uses the existing center and has 

been frustrated with the lack of 

urban design and a “sense of 

place” for the overall center. 

Fred Wine then provided background 

on the existing shopping 

center, including several large 

tenants with long-term leases. 

He also described recent and 

on-going improvements. In today’s 

market he said Beltway 

Plaza could not take action on 

an overall comprehensive plan 

but planned to upgrade the façade 

fronting on Greenbelt Road. 

“Current tenants are concerned 

that the upgrade will lead to increased 

rents,” he said. 

Wine described good connectivity 

between the proposed 

Greenbelt Place and the existing 

center. He introduced several 

Beltway Plaza tenants who spoke 

in favor of the CSP for the rear 

parking lot, which they saw as 

enhancing the overall center. 

Planning Board Vice-Chairman 

Sylvester Vaughns then expressed 

support for the plan. 

City Position 

Representing Greenbelt and 

making the main argument 

against the rezoning proposal and 

the CSP was attorney Dan Lynch. 

He said rezoning of the Beltway 

Plaza property could be approved 

only if the proposed zoning meets 

the objectives of the DDOZ and 

the Sector Plan. That specifies 

requirements for various “corridors” 

in that the plan and the 

Greenbelt Road and Beltway 

Plaza corridor specifically calls 

for commercial and retail uses 

and does not contemplate residential 

uses. 

He argued that Beltway Plaza 

should have requested an amendment 

to the Sector Plan and a 

change to the listed table of uses 

in the county’s zoning ordinance 

that sets out allowable uses in the 

M-U-I zone. Lynch said if the 

applicant resubmitted the Request 

for Rezoning with the amendments 

he described, the Planning 

Board would be able to consider 

it. 

In response to a question from 

the chairman, Zhang defended the 

Technical Staff’s recommendation 

for the rezoning, explaining that 

the M-U-I zone had not been envisioned 

at the time of approval of 

the Sector Plan (2001). Staff had 

determined that the District Council’s 

approval of the then Springhill 

Lake property from the R-18 zone 

to the M-U-I zone in 2005 had 

amounted to an official amendment 

to the 2001 approved Sector Plan. 

Get 

plugged 

into the latest news 

In later testimony, Celia Craze, 

the city’s director of Planning 

and Community Development, 

added to Lynch’s argument by 

noting that the 2005 rezoning of 

the Springhill Lake property had 

been supported because the entire 

property was considered a transit 

village, which supported the zoning 

change. In the Beltway Plaza 

case, she opposed piecemeal zoning 

of the shopping center. 

City Response 

Mayor Davis and Councilmember 

Roberts also spoke on 

behalf of the City of Greenbelt. 

Roberts focused on the piecemeal 

approach of Beltway Plaza 

and his estimation that Franklin 

Park has nearly 500 vacant units. 

Davis submitted prepared remarks 

for the record, noting: 

1. This was not a fully integrated 

plan for the entire property, 

which council has requested 

for some time. If this plan goes 

forward, an opportunity will be 

lost to fully rehabilitate the entire 

Beltway Plaza. 

2. The proposed plan is not in 

accord with the Approved Sector 

Plan. 

3. What is proposed is not 

truly an integrated mixed use. 

4. The plan did not achieve 

a level of specificity to make 

council comfortable (especially 

regarding details about recreation, 

amount of open space, pedestrian 

connectivity, unit mix, location of 

buildings and number of stories). 

Last to testify was attorney 

Christopher Hatcher, of the firm 

of Rifkin, Livingston, Levitan 

and Silver, LLC, representing 

both Metroland Developers and 

Franklin Park owners. Franklin 

Park’s position is not opposed to 

the development but is concerned 

with pedestrian connections and 

traffic issues. Metroland also is 

not opposed, he said, but noted 

that traffic control improvements 

may be required by the development 

with a mutual division of 

costs for such improvements. 

The Vote 

With all of the testimony completed 

about 9 p.m. and after a 

very long day for the Planning 

Board, witnesses and observers, 

board members made their respective 

decisions. Parker noted 

he agreed with a statement made 

by Craze, that, “the plan is good, 

but incomplete.” He felt the 

piecemeal approach should not 

be approved. He was supported 

by Cavitt. 

Vaughn supported the proposed 

development and would rely on 

the next phase of approvals at the 

detailed site plan stage to finetune 

and improve it. He wanted 

to see something started. 

Vaughns moved to recommend 

approval of the rezoning and 

the CSP to the District Council. 

Clark seconded the motion. The 

vote was a two-to-two tie. 

In nearly every other advisory 

or legislative body a motion that 

fails to gain a majority is deemed 

failed. However, the Planning 

Board’s Legal Counsel advised that 

according to board rules, a tie vote 

results in the considered proposal 

being sent to the District Council. 

It is likely that city opposition 

to the CSP and the rezoning will 

continue at the District Council 

level. The newly-elected Prince 

George’s Council meets on the 

second and fourth Mondays of 

each month as the District Council 

for zoning matters.

Spike in Shootings 

Addressed by Police 

According to Greenbelt Police 

Chief James Craze, Prince 

George’s County Police Chief 

Mark Magaw held a county-wide 

phone conference with area police 

chiefs on Monday, January 10 to 

discuss the recent spike in shootings 

around the county. 

During the meeting Magaw 

outlined plans to re-deploy resources 

to investigate the crimes 

and to form an alliance with various 

agencies in recruiting a task 

force to address the issue. 

The Greenbelt Police Department 

is coordinating its own 

response to the five shootings 

in this city since mid-December, 

including a poster offering a 

reward of up to $1,000 in the 

shooting incidents. The poster 

is being sent to business owners 

and city staff to distribute to the 

community. 

“While there is no indication 

that the shootings in the county 

are in any way related to ours, 

they are similar in nature in that 

most are not random and have a 

drug-related nexus,” said Craze. 

$10,000. Both men were released 

to the Department of Corrections 

for a hearing before a 

district court commissioner.

Co-op Grocery Now Has Restroom 

Available on the First Floor 

Have you heard? The Coop 

Supermarket now has a first 

floor bathroom. Well, not a full 

bathroom but it has the “necessary.” 

This writer is not privy to all 

the details that brought this matter 

to a head but the need for 

a first floor bathroom has been 

brought up and discussed at many 

a Co-op annual meeting. Both 

before and since current store 

manager Bob Davis came to the 

Co-op in 1984, shoppers have 

asked for relief. 

Over the years many locations 

were considered but lack of 

space always managed to stop up 

the works . . . something had to 

go in order to put in a restroom. 

“We have a small footprint,” Davis 

said, “and had to find where 

we could best afford to give 

space away.” 

When plans were made to 

renovate the Co-op this year, it 

was do or die. Shoppers had 

waited years, some nearly a 

lifetime. “If we were ever going 

to do it, now was the time,” 

while other modifications to the 

store were being made, Davis 

said. The “warm beer room” 

was selected as the site. This 

non-refrigerated room was used 

for storing beer and health and 

beauty products. 

Where Is It? 

When you are ready to take 

the plunge, head to the back of 

the store to the area between 

frozen specialties and bread. Go 

through the doorway that is flush 

with the back wall. The “Family 

by Suzanne Krofchik 

Suzanne Krofchik shows off the new first floor restroom at the Coop 

Supermarket. 

and Handicap Restroom” is immediately 

to the left. 

You will find a large, bright 

room fit for a king or queen. In 

fact, you might feel as if you really 

are sitting on a throne, since 

it is a high seat with plenty of 

space on each side and in front 

of it.

The restroom is kept locked 

for security purposes. To use it, 

either go to the office to borrow 

the key or ask any nearby manager 

for access. 

The cost for engineering, materials 

and construction was approximately 

$30,000.

Alight Dance Gives Final Season 

Performance at the Dance Place 

Greenbelt dance company 

Alight will give its final performance 

of the season for “Speechless” 

at Dance Place in Washington, 

D.C., on Saturday, January 

29 at 8 p.m. and Sunday, January 

30 at 4 p.m. Alight is owned 

by choreographer and Greenbelt 

resident Angella Foster. Speechless 

premiered at the Kennedy 

Center in October 2010 and was 

presented in open rehearsals at 

the Greenbelt Community Center 

in November. 

Recognition Group 

Formed in January 2010 the 

company is a nonprofit, is a 

Greenbelt recognition group and 

regularly rehearses at the Community 

Center. Alight has a 

mission to create performance 

events that use the power of story 

to inspire people to be compassionate 

viewer-participants 

in their communities. Weaving 

together dance, gesture, text 

and live music, Speechless explores 

struggles faced by parents 

of special needs children with 

communication issues in caring 

for and understanding their 

silent child in a noisy world. 

Foster’s work is inspired by the 

experiences of her cousin, Taylor 

Ann Clark, who relies primarily 

on nonverbal communication 

tools to “speak” with her family. 

Speechless was supported in 

part by funding from the Prince 

George’s Arts Council and was 

part of the Green Man Festival. 

Foster and Alight also received a 

2010 Local Dance Commissioning 

Project grant from the Kennedy 

Center for the Performing 

Arts as part of its Performing 

Alyssa U and Heather Creek 

Arts for Everyone and Millennium 

Stage programs. 

Conceiving of the body as 

the most articulate storyteller, 

Alight uses full-bodied physicality 

as well as subtle gestures 

to give voice to stories that are 

concealed, hidden or neglected in 

day-to-day life. 

There is a fee to attend the 

performance. Dance Place is 

located at 3225 8th Street Northeast 

in Washington, D.C., on the 

Red Line two blocks from the 

Brookland-Catholic University 

of America metro station. For 

more information visit www. 

alightdancetheater.org or call 301-
